Lyric

The candles flicker without flame

A veil has covered up my name

The sky is crying, cold and gray

I feel nothing — it's slipped away

The silence screams in embered black

And flows like blood along my track

The shadows waltz with no refrain

A graveyard song, so soft, so vain

In darkness dressed, the pain shall rise

A crown of thorns behind my eyes

All fades away that seemed to shine

Where even night begins to cry

In silken black, in freezing flame —

I face myself and speak my name

From ash, the roses bloom so pale

They whisper love, but love can fail

For love will rot when light has died

When every hope begins to hide

A cross of bones, so cold, so bare

One final kiss — then empty air

The moon bears witness to my ache

He stays with me — for sorrow’s sake

In darkness bright, my soul decays

Dissolving in the "never-ways."

I dance in silence, glass and smoke

In night’s own dress — that sacred cloak

In velvet dust and misted pride —

I am the bride of the midnight tide

“I am the candle that won't burn

The mirror where you won't return

The voice that breaks within the breeze

I am the void… and your disease.”

In darkened bloom, all light must die

But darkness never says goodbye

She holds me close in quiet thrall

Where every end begins its fall

In crypt and crown, in shadowed rite —

I am the night… in endless night
